The Arkham Detective is back! And he’s scaring the hell out of me! Yes, you heard me right, he’s back.

I just published the third installment in a four-part series about the hard-boiled police detective in Arkham that’s in charge of the Mythos Division. The title is THE DEVIL CAME TO ARKHAMand I feel like the devil himself is breathing down my neck because that damn detective won't stop stalking me. You’d think he’d be happy with the current publication, but nooo! He carries a big colt .45 and a knife and believe-you-me, don't cross him.

The Arkham detective hounds me, not letting me sleep until I put to pen and paper all his case files. He won’t be satisfied until I’ve completed his life story. He forces me to write still, day and night. I must finish or you will find my chalk outline on the cold hard floor.

In “The Devil Came to Arkham” the Great Depression is still in full swing and the dregs of the community have taken a toll on the not so fair city of Arkham. To top it all off, a strange and eerie fellow by the name of Corvus Astaroth has taken up residence in the Massachusetts city and the masses are falling deathly ill under his spell. Is he a Night Gaunt, or the devil, or both? It is a race against time and it is up to our Detective with No Name to not only save his hometown but his family as well.

When my avocation became my vocation I was set free.

Writing, at first, was a hobby that I loved dearly. It turned into a serious endeavor several years ago when I started writing screenplays. Unfortunately selling one out of every ten was not very lucrative. Success comes in many forms and my poor returns from screenplays matured my writing style, ultimately affording me the ability to author hundreds of magazine articles that generated a decent paycheck.

Fast forward to today and my initial release of my novel “The Alchemist’s Notebook,” has been re-titled and published as "The CRY of CTHULHU."

It is a whirlwind story in the style of H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos that takes the reader from Vietnam to Innsmouth then Arkham and eventually to Europe wherein chaos and screaming terror awaits all living creatures on our planet.

I pledge to keep the reader on pins and needles hoping that sanity and normalcy will return.

“The CRY of CTHULHU” and all future novels, along with my blogs, will deal exclusively with that genre.
